IBM claims tape density record IBM researchers announced they have demonstrated a world record in data density on linear magnetic tape. The researchers at IBM's Almaden Research Center in San Jose, Calif., packed data onto a test tape at a density of 6.67 billion bits per square inch -- more than 15 times the data density of today's most popular industry-standard magnetic tape products, the company claimed. To achieve this feat, they created several new data-recording technologies and worked with Fuji Photo Film Co. Ltd. of Japan to develop a next-generation dual-coat magnetic tape capable of storing high-density data.

LeftHand touts university customers ISCSI SAN provider LeftHand Networks Inc. says it has sold its product to over 30 universities throughout the U.S. "We evaluated different storage vendors and found that LeftHand Networks was the best choice for our Linux environment. The features that are inherent to the LeftHand solution would cost several times the amount with Fibre Channel solutions. With 20 terabytes of storage, the LeftHand Networks iSCSI SAN leverages our existing Ethernet infrastructure and allows the school to easily add storage as needed without compromising performance and at a price that we can afford," said Jim O'Leary, IT manager for the University of Illinois at Chicago.

The companies say this collaboration, which will ship at the end of June 2006, is the first in a planned series that will also include CDP appliances and the ability to perform failover via WAN.

Brocade announces file security software Brocade Communications Systems Inc. introduced a new version of Brocade Tapestry MyView, a file resource access management product the company picked up through its acquisition of NuView in March.

MyView improves file access controls for IT and security administrators with tools to streamline reporting of access authorizations for compliance audits. The software provides individual users with a "personalized" view of enterprise resources they can access in a network and gives administrators tools to monitor access rights and improve overall network security. The new release of Tapestry MyView includes enhanced capabilities for better security practices and simplified auditing for the Sarbanes-Oxley Act; the Federal Information Security Management Act; the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act; the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act; and other compliance requirements, the company said.

Solid Data Systems claims record retrieval speeds Solid Data Systems has introduced a line of low-cost appliances for Fibre Channel connected server, cluster and SAN environments. The new SD2000 stores and retrieves data with a latency of less than 10 microseconds, making it and the SD3000 the lowest latency nonvolatile, external storage systems in the industry – 500 times faster than mechanical disk storage, the company claims. The SD2000 provides an alternative to spreading files over a large numbers of rotating disks to achieve acceptable application performance. While more expensive than rotating disks in cost per byte, in appropriate applications, the SD2000 lowers overall cost per transaction by lowering server, storage, licensing and maintenance costs, according to the company.
